It's still going to be a propeller punching its way through air. The explosions may be gone, but prop noise isn't going anywhere.
I've messed with this a lot, and the best setup I've come up with is:

- Etymotic ER4SR earbuds

- Laptop mic(s)

- Do some weird thing for my iPhone (Airpods, Earpods, dongle to my Etymotics)

I've never had noise cancellation be anywhere near as effective as a good ear seal, and I absolutely do not trust it to not malfunction and damage my hearing. Noise cancellation and high quality sounds are essentially orthogonal anyway so, it's an easy choice.

Unfortunately sound quality almost always means giving up a mic and wireless too. Etymotic has a neckbuds adapter but you can't replace the cables, which means its lifespan is something around a year. There are some great Bluetooth converters, but since they're almost exactly like plugging into a phone I don't really see the point.

There are some aftermarket cables you can buy that have mics built in. I messed with this a little but, it turned out that the mics on my laptop were actually pretty good.

So, yeah my setup now is I carry two sets of earbuds around, which actually all things considered is coming away pretty cheap. Can wholeheartedly recommend the ER4SRs too (they make a version w/ a bass boost but, don't crack), replaceable cable, replaceable filters, insanely good sound quality, great support. The immediate feeling of IEMs is pretty uncomfortable, but spend 3-4 months getting tips that are right for your ears and getting used to them. It's been extremely worth it for me, I can focus and do real work in pretty bonkers environments. Plus your battery will never die ;)
You should really investigate your biases if the first thought that comes to your mind is that Google chose flock because it thinks customers are sheep.
If I clicked the ad, thumbs up, if not thumbs down. With appropriate weights this can work.

But.. Ad networks will never implement this, cause priority there :

1) ad network 2) advertiser 3) publisher 4) user

This bumps user from 4th place to 1st place
I wonder if the recent hunger for the new PS5/XboxSeriesX, namely the lack of supply, scalping, and massive web traffic trying to secure online orders, contributed to a short-term distorted view on the stock.
Know Your Amphetamines
It’s suspected Fridays price jump was caused by your second point: naked call sellers buying shares. The so called “gamma squeeze”.

Every single strike price on Friday was in the money on expiration. It’s hard to overstate how ludicrous that is.
That looks like an awful over complicated way of performing a lobotomy.
good question. Aviron's resistance settings are used to enable high intensity interval training (HIIT) and workout variety for the average person/ fitness enthusiast. For example we have strength programs that guide you through bicep curls using the bar (with an animation that shows feet firmly planted on the ground and a low and steady motion, if you're moving too quickly Aviron will sense it and tell you to slow down your movement)
> I normally have an idea, but not in this context, as it speaks of stages of a product definition. A definition does not have “stages”

It's really difficult to understand your confusion here. "Definition" is referring the the act of defining, not the formal statement that results from that process. Are you reading it as the latter?

Every product I have ever worked on had definition stages. How else does the formal definition come into being?
Fascinating. Something that made me curious:

> There the ship was fired on repeatedly, and King was not able to accomplish his objective to establish diplomatic contact

So...why not place a brief message into a few bottles and drop them in the waters around the populated zones? "We have here your citizens named so-and-so, and will return around this date, and then this date + about 12M, to try again. Please don't shoot." Include handwritten notes from the survivors to the families / friends.

Surely this method (among others) would stand at least a chance...as compared to ~20 years of unfortunate delay in connection.
> about the things they are told not to believe.

I don't believe things because I'm "told" them, I believe them when I'm convinced using evidence and data. The danger presented by Covid to otherwise healthy adults and children under 60 is extremely minimal and there are corresponding tradeoff costs to any decision made. At the moment, it seems more deaths will have been caused by our reaction to Covid (in terms of missed cancer diagnosis, heart problems, surgeries related to the same, tuberculosis, missing vaccinations that didn't happen) than would have been caused by the disease itself. And that's assuming that deaths are the only valid measuring stick, which simply isn't true. What's happened to education of children? Quality of life for people not allowed to see loved ones?

Relating to the article, photos are by their nature anecdotal and will not do anything to sway someone like myself. About as effective as showing me a picture of a car accident and telling me never to get in a car again.
This is just your standard formalization of a process to make it sound more professional and seem more legitimate.

It's similar to agile.
This says that it leaked Brazilians' name & CPF numbers.

CPF being the number that people give to every random shopkeeper to enter that tax lottery. So, it's... not exactly a big secret. To do most official-type things you have to go down to the cartório with your actual ID, not just enter the number.

Heck, I've been to places where you had to use one to use the free wifi. Granted, in that particular case, it didn't care if you used someone else's. I wouldn't be surprised if that was also true, elsewhere, honestly.

I'm sure someone will find ways to misuse this but Brazil has bigger problems. Also, this doesn't seem to be a leak of government data, it looks like it came from Serasa Experian or one of its contractors.

So yeah, I tend to agree with you. If the government does something, it will probably be like that law posted on every elevator warning you to check that there's an actual elevator there, instead of just walking into the empty shaft. For those curious, that'd be lei estadual n^o 9.502 de 11/03/1997 - https://www.al.sp.gov.br/norma/?id=9419
The climate is changing because of the amount emitted. We've emitted a shit tonne. We're still emitting too much, even with covid and a recession. So climate isn't getting better.
> Hence, folks from East Asia drifted away and landed on west coast of North America all the time, from time immemorial to 1492, and all of them were designated native/indigenous.

Most of them would be designated "dead" at the very best. Odds were they wouldn't be designated anything because the ship would sink long before it got through the pacific: aside from polynesian navigators (which likely had at least some pre-columbian contact with the americas) navigation was coast-hugging and ships were simply not designed to survive through the Pacific. And then the crew would still need to survive through a journey they were completely unprepared for.

Not to mention the pacific doesn't really work that way: usually the ship would get caught in the gyres and never make it out, without wilful navigation it'd have incredibly low odds of catching the Alaska current or the equatorial counter-current.
Interesting I rowed more than 13 years on national level up to u21 and never had any back problems until I hit a car cycling and fracturing my t6. I also don't know of any of my former friends who developed back pain. I actually always put this done to having very good core strength from rowing.

In contrast or my cycling friends (which I took up after) have back problems, in particular the ones who started when young.

Mind you this was more than 20 years ago so maybe the training regime has changed.
Related to this, but I'm working on a little project where people can hire a server for a specific game (RRRE). In that context, "Buy 2 extra hours of server time" sounds a lot better than "Buy 120 minutes of server time".
Volume for the day is currently at 134m. Even at $80 average trade price, that is over $10 billion worth traded today. Average volume was 20 million for a whole day, and at $20 was about $400m trading hands.

Do the wsb retail investors really control enough money to be buying up the stock this much? If they do, that means they could do this to many stocks...
> Aero engines are exceptionally reliable

Isn't this only true due to the maintenance schedule? This seems to be highly coupled in the "will this make sense" conversation...
Another month another set of news that can be solved by NOT storing all the data in one place by one company. But for that we need better software. This article is literally like The Onion article about guns. Maybe we should put it with names changed every few months:

Should I send gifts to our loyal customers?
Hey dudes,

We are a SaaS company and now I am thinking about sending gifts to our loyal customers. The customers are mainly other SaaS companies.
I was thinking about sending whisky or wine maybe, but not sure if it's worth it or not?

Would love to hear your thoughts and ideas or is there anyone who tried this??

Appreciate any kind of help
What are topics you wanted the book to cover that it did not cover? What are the most irritating problems you face in your day to day work in the field that you would have wanted to be in the book?
I don't think there's a magic way to do this, if your app can connect to the database and someone has access to your app server - they have access to your database as well.
Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of. I didn't know it was part of a book, I think I originally read this paragraph on someone's blog. Thanks for sharing the original source!
Not these ones, though. They're certainly going to reduce emissions in the local area, but their solution inherently cannot scale up. Their planes are tiny, and their flights are super short. It's basically as different from regular commercial flights as you can get, while still working with airplanes.
Yes, it uses polling. The only problem is the standard one for polling: it's either expensive or slow.

> The function app hosts the scheduled process that at the specified time retrieves the list of files from the storage account (1), iterates through them, for each (2) one checks if it changed and sends a notification if it did (3). If the file has changed, the function app also updates the file hash in the storage account (4).

The cheaper way to do it would be to set up a webhook listening for push events [1]. You do have to handle missed webhook notifications, but you can usually just do that by polling very infrequently.

> Hardening code paths that allow access into our dev tier. We cannot take our dev tier off of the internet because we have to be able to test integrations with third-party systems that send inbound webhooks, etc. Instead, we made sure that access can only be gained with access keys obtained by employees and that features such as impersonation only allow de-escalation—i.e. it only allows lower or equal privilege users to the currently authenticated user.

They believe so ("neutralizing titer levels with B.1.351 remain above levels that are expected to be protective"), but this was a blood sample study that can't definitively demonstrate population efficacy.
Roughly a factor of 4 difference though[1]. The article states 5 acres was a typical farm size while an extended family unit with two adult males could farm 20 acres. A later article goes into the fact that tenant-farmers (a.k.a sharecroppers) would keep only 50% of what they farmed compared to 80-90% for non-tenant farmers.

I was thinking that you would have a browser extension or bookmarklet but yes, you could definitely get away with something simpler.
Jurisprudence includes the concept of a "Limited Purpose Public Figure", which typically includes anyone or anything that is part of a prominent matter of public interest. It is not a requirement that this person or group be prominent before hand. Unfortunately this occasionally has the effect of making some plaintiffs a LPPF by the very nature of the allegedly defamatory statements made against them, but that's how the law works.
Can re-confirm: the lady who brings my family raw milk just wrote to me on Signal instead of WhatsApp without me even asking. I'm positively drowning, happily, in this tsunami!!!
While true for many (the majority, even), it's not impossible for company-employee relationships to be symbiotic as well, not every company is like you describe.
Orwell wrote a nice essay on this, all the way back in 1940s, when the war was still being fought, and organizations like the British Union of Fascists were around:

https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel...

And it could as well be written yesterday:

"The sinister fact about literary censorship in England is that it is largely voluntary. Unpopular ideas can be silenced, and inconvenient facts kept dark, without the need for any official ban. Anyone who has lived long in a foreign country will know of instances of sensational items of news—things which on their own merits would get the big headlines—being kept right out of the British press, not because the Government intervened but because of a general tacit agreement that ‘it wouldn’t do’ to mention that particular fact. So far as the daily newspapers go, this is easy to understand. The British press is extremely centralised, and most of it is owned by wealthy men who have every motive to be dishonest on certain important topics. But the same kind of veiled censorship also operates in books and periodicals, as well as in plays, films and radio. At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is ‘not done’ to say it, just as in mid-Victorian times it was ‘not done’ to mention trousers in the presence of a lady. Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness."

"The ordinary people in the street – partly, perhaps, because they are not sufficiently interested in ideas to be intolerant about them – still vaguely hold that ‘I suppose everyone’s got a right to their own opinion.’ It is only, or at any rate it is chiefly, the literary and scientific intelligentsia, the very people who ought to be the guardians of liberty, who are beginning to despise it, in theory as well as in practice."

"One of the peculiar phenomena of our time is the renegade Liberal. Over and above the familiar Marxist claim that ‘bourgeois liberty’ is an illusion, there is now a widespread tendency to argue that one can only defend democracy by totalitarian methods. If one loves democracy, the argument runs, one must crush its enemies by no matter what means."

"1940 it was perfectly right to intern Mosley, whether or not he had committed any technical crime. We were fighting for our lives and could not allow a possible quisling to go free. To keep him shut up, without trial, in 1943 was an outrage. The general failure to see this was a bad symptom, though it is true that the agitation against Mosley’s release was partly factitious and partly a rationalisation of other discontents. But how much of the present slide towards Fascist ways of thought is traceable to the ‘anti-Fascism’ of the past ten years and the unscrupulousness it has entailed?"

(Note that the guy writing all this was a socialist who volunteered to go and literally shoot at - and be shot by - actual Fascists in the Spanish Civil War less than 10 years earlier.)
Lying about a company generally isn't a crime (except in restricted circumstances; there are probably scenarios where it could be a securities law issue, say), but a company is absolutely able to take a civil suit against someone who maliciously lies about it.
It would be pretty shocking if Google were sharing search data with anyone, let alone Taboola.

Others in this thread mentioned that Taboola used to have literal malware that would replace Google with a google-lookalike. Maybe you have that malware?
It's in the remediations section, but maybe the wording isn't clear:

We also removed functionality that allowed viewing emails, in particular account recovery emails.*

There was no "unauthenticated" access into dev - the access key here is what allows login at all to our dev environment, but the attacker was able to bypass that protection.
With the exception of one small company I worked for, every employer has offered both short-term and long-term disability at no cost to employees. You're still covered by the employer's health insurance during that period.
That’s really where punishment (fear) falls down. In the short term, consequences may be or seem inevitable; in the long term, the mischievous or criminal or anxious will model behavior to avoid consequences.

Punishment should come after reinforcement - but with equal consistency.
A better question is why the world is letting a tiny handful of people hoard unimaginable wealth while millions starve, die of preventable disease, or live in misery.

It's harder to fail to cover use cases that the development team isn't aware of.

One example of this is name changes. Many products neglect this use case even though it's common[0] for women to change their family names after marriage.

Because the preferences of their users would be to stop tracking their users. You don't need a replacement, you just need to get rid of it.

There's a significant amount of gaslighting to claiming that you value user privacy whilst developing new ways to track users.
These connected fitness products will need cross-play soon if more start coming out :)

I generate long completely random aliases also for other reason: to help with phishing detection.

I store aliases in DB along with a short description of to whom they were issued, and some extra flags. My mail client then highlights emails sent to these aliases in green color and shows their description instead of the alias itself in the "From" column of the message list.

I always give random aliases to online services, eshops, shipping companies, etc. These private aliases will never receive SPAM, or phishing, unless leaked by the company.

Anything that looks like a transactional email from some service, and is not sent to private alias, just gets deleted right away. It's not even worth opening, no matter how good it looks.

And I can keep my phishing guard up on much lower volume of green emails. It also makes whitelisting transactional email easier, without allowing random SPAM to the Inbox, because filtering based on the "shared secret" per company delivery address will allow in all important email from the company, regardless of how or from what address it was sent.
But the problem is we are not getting targeted ads. We are getting semi-targeted ads.

If someone is paying 10 usd for conversion and you have chance to convert 1%, another one has 90% chance to convert but paying lets say 0.10 usd, even if you have 90 times better ad, ad network will show you the 1% one.
Renewing a .com for the maximum 10 years in advance is a bit of a trap, because to transfer the domain to another registrar you have to buy at least one additional year... which you can't do if you're already at the 10 year limit. If your registrar pulls a GoDaddy and you want to move away you might find yourself having to wait up to a year.

There might be similar caveats with other TLDs but I only have experience with .com
I bought a Pi Zero W awhile back and it sat in my desk for like a year. While going through my desk about a month ago I decided to take 10 minutes to set it up and regret not doing it sooner! The little thing is pretty amazing. I've since moved the Pi Zero W to my travel bag paired with my travel modem and upgraded to a regular Pi at home!
To be fair, it's not like you can tell Redmond isn't just more Seattle on a map. Same for Everett: everything from Lakewood to Everett is just "Seattle" to everyone except for the folks that live/work there.
I loved PAIP at the time, but it's 30 years old now. Is it still relevant? anything newer?
PAIP is a great book, but I wouldn't call it ML. It is more about traditional AI research based on symbolic computing, in the Lisp and Prolog tradition. Modern ML is 90% based on statistical and optimization algorithms.
It's not hard to imagine confounding variables that could be influencing both, instead of a direct causal relationship.
I stand corrected.

Just to be clear for my understand, would this not only be true during optimal cruise? Outside of optimal operation, specially during the start, this would actually be an advantage of electric motors?

I was looking into the potential of electric turbofans.

I'm just happy you didn't shoot everything down.
What would be involved in hosting something like this? I'm always looking for stuff to host (and have been sick of reddit for a few years now), but anything I host would just be a server in my room on a residential IP, which may not have the reliability you want
Very true, especially when you consider that a more deadly variant is highly likely to be associated with things like higher viral load, worse symptoms, and faster symptom onset. A virus that kills twice as many people will likely be harmful for twice as many people -- giving the virus fewer asymptomatic hosts that go around spreading without even knowing it.

It's more likely to go the other way; some derpy mutation that reduces viral load, slows incubation, reduces symptoms, makes more super-spreaders.
C2 is really an engineering masterpiece. Simple, works forever, cheap replaceable parts, anyone can do the maintenance after watching a YouTube vid.

Also super cool that you can upgrade the display/head unit w/o having to get a new rower.

It's also significantly cheaper than this machine and has exceptionally high re-sale value.
I had mine replaced under warranty because of this. The specific problem only appears in the active noise cancelling or transparency modes. Can also test it by touching the pod. Ones with the problem will make crackling noises in active modes.
Like everything else, it will be imperfect, there will be scandals, the occasional lawsuit, and we'll muddle through.
Many devs are probably familiar with perfect hashes as the gperf tool seems omnipresent on Linux machines. Is this a related concept? The learning part makes me suspect so but the slopes and interpolation part makes me doubt it.
